Can Sebacious Cysts affected person do blood donation?


I have multiple Sebacious cysts from last 15 yrs without any problem so can I donate blood if any body ask.

It is sometimes (but not always) considered to be equivalent to epidermoid cyst, or similar enough to be addressed as a single entity.[1]

Some sources state that a "sebaceous cyst" is defined not by the contents of the cyst (sebum) but by the origin (sebaceous glands). Because a "epidermoid cyst" originates in the epidermis, and a "pilar cyst" originates from hair follicles, neither type of cyst would be considered a sebaceous cyst by this definition.[2] However, in practice, the terms are often used interchangeably.

"True" sebaceous cysts are relatively rare.[3]


[edit] Presentation
The scalp, ears, back, face, and upper arm, are common sites for sebaceous cysts, though they may occur anywhere on the body except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. In males a common place for them to develop is the scrotum and chest .They are more common in hairier areas, where in cases of long duration they could result in hair loss on the skin surface immediately above the cyst. They are smooth to the touch, vary in size, and are generally round in shape.

They are generally mobile masses that can consist of:

fibrous tissues and fluids
a fatty, (keratinous), substance that resembles cottage cheese, in which case the cyst may be called "keratin cyst"
a somewhat viscous, serosanguineous fluid (containing purulent and bloody material)
The nature of the contents of a sebaceous cyst, and of its surrounding capsule, will be determined by whether the cyst has ever been infected.

With surgery, a cyst can usually be excised in its entirety; poor surgical technique or previous infection leading to scarring and tethering of the cyst to the surrounding tissue may lead to rupture during excision and removal. A completely removed cyst will not recur, though if the patient has a predisposition to cyst formation, further cysts may develop in the same general area.


[edit] Causes
Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles,[4] excessive testosterone production, will cause such cysts.[5]

A case has been reported of sebaceous cyst being caused by Dermatobia hominis.[6]
